The setting is a 20-year class reunion at, where else, Ken Hethcrington's. Tonight's entertainment consists of — Scott Manninen and his group called, “The Pup and His Alvinettcs. Of course they arc just “merely friends” T-R-U-L-Y! Kristy Miller is the side attraction at tonight's party. She is singing her new hit single, “Be My Gallcntinc!!” Kcry Abney keeps his days busy. In the morning he maintenizes and in the evenings he womanizes. Dave Atherton is still a Private First Class in the U.S. Army working for the demolition squad. David always thought he’d go broke buying clothes for Jeanie (Biederman’s) wardrobe, so they moved to the Philippines where grass skirts are cheaper. Dawn Duggan is still milking cows at Agri-King. Herding sheep by day and milking cows by night. Ken Eagle and Mike Eagle (the Eagle cousins) arc the new stand-ins for the Duke boys on “Dukes of Hazzard. Mark Eissens has got a date for tonight's event. Janice finally said yes after twenty years. Jana Foltz has taken over her mom's job with the post office. Now she and Dave Meade are playing post office for real. Bryan Harvilla is starring in his own T.V. show. “Three’s a Crowd.” Gordie Hawkins dream has come true. His winning personality has landed him a job in the movie “Rocky 10. Ken Hetherington is still an assistant chef but with Chef Tell where he's rolling in the dough. No cutting remarks, Ken! Cindy Hook is still cruising — trying to “Hook her man. It was nice of her to take time off from her latest world tour as Universal Beef Queen to be with us tonight. Thca Jildcrda is operator of a world rcknown day care center in Florida. Too bad they arc all little Weinreichs. Brad Kaufman is astronaut and commander of the first space shuttle to Mars. He always was a little spacey. Jeanette Kennedy and Jeff have arrived at the reunion late. Jeff had to pick Jeanette up from Obedience School. Kelli Kennedy is now the founder and owner of “KK Computer Dating Service. Who was the lucky fellow for tonight, Kelli? Johnna Kramer is first chair clarinet in the Boston Symphony and is still tuning up her horn. Mike Kroll is the new president of Kroll’s Skoal where chewing out the workers is his favorite pastime. Laura Krontz flew in tonight in Andy's plane. She has been running a volleyball camp for midgets. (She always liked the short ones!) John Krughel is a guard at Zyrofin. He's putting his “sweet personality to use. Curt Pidde has replaced Animal on The Muppet Show. You can see him every Sunday morning. Laurie Prins is host of the new game show “Simon Says.” Simon says “Jump. Scott, Jump! Crawl. Scott, Crawl!!” Sharon Schoening has made it into the world of advertising a real glamour girl. She recently displayed blue flowers and green stems and it wasn’t even a flower show. Julie Smith is director of tourism at the White House in Washington D.C. She lives just off the 14th Street Bridge. Anyone who wants a tour - just call. Theresa Starr has taken many cruises since graduation. She prefers the portholes of ships to the balconies of hotels.
